注释 Notes
1. 疑问代词“怎么样” The Interrogative Pronoun “怎么样”
“怎么样”用来询问状况。例如:
“怎么样” is used to ask about the condition of something or someone. For example:
- 你的汉语怎么样?
- 你妈妈身体怎么样?
- 明天天气怎么样?
2. 主谓谓语句 Sentences with a Subject-Predicate Phrase as the Predicate
主谓谓语句中的谓语是一个主谓结构的短语, 它的格式是:
In Chinese, there is such a kind of sentence in which the predicate is a subject-predicate phrase. The structure is:
全句主语 + 全句谓语 (主语 + 谓语)
Subject of the Sentence + Predicate of the Sentence (Subject + Predicate)
| Subject | Predicate | |
|---|---|---|
| Subject | Predicate | |
| 我 | 身体 | 不太好。 |
| 明天 | 天气 | 很好。 |
| 你 | 身体 | 怎么样? |
*注意: 全句谓语中的主语常常是全句主语的一部分或者跟它相关
Note: The subject in the subject-predicate phrase is usually part of the subject of the sentence or related to it.
3. 程度副词“太” The Adverb “太”
表示程度深的意义。用“太”的句尾常带“了”。否定句不用“了”。例如:
The adverb “太” indicates a high degree. “太” is often used at the end of the sentence with “了”, but not in negative sentences. For example:
- 太热了。
- 天气太冷了。
- 我身体不太好。
4. 能愿动词“会”(2) The Modal Verb “会”(2)
“会”在句中表示所说的情况有可能实现。例如:

B: 她会来。 - A: 今天会下雨吗?
